Thanks for addressing the issue of balancing a desire to control your tree’s size with still getting a crop! I ordered a Persian mulberry a couple of years ago that turned out actually to be some variety of white mulberry, Morus alba, with small black fruits produced early in the spring on last year’s growth. The other pruning videos all seem to talk about mulberries fruiting on the new growth (not mine!) so pruning them hard winter dormancy. I appreciate you giving me a blessing to wait and prune it AFTER harvest! I did recently manage to buy an ACTUAL Persian mulberry, Morus nigra, from a local nursery. I will watch to see which branches IT bears fruit on before I do a lot of pruning.
There is a misconception about the fruit forming on new growth that you have observed. The fruit form on the newly opened buds from LAST years wood. This is actually very common with most deciduous fruits. I don’t do the hard winter pruning. I hard prune in the spring after harvest.
Datawise speaking, what percentage of limbs do you leave to produce for the present year and what percent for the following year? I have an everbearing that goes great guns (both growing and producing) and it is about 14 feet tall. Of course, I have never touched it as there are always berries to pick from ground level. Will all your comments work for an everbearing tree? (Sorry, don't have a name for it.)

where did you get the hanging mirrors ?
I've seen them at Christmas time...used as decorations on trees.
